Digestible Takes on International Affairs
Quality depends on the season, but overall informed and interesting content. The most recent season (2021-2022) has been excellent; laid back, short talks, but insightful and dynamic. Relevant for students of international affairs, or global politics and issues, but I would imagine it might also be appreciated by others interested in the world of international affairs. Even those who aren’t, you probably would be surprised, IA effects everyone and everything, its like a kind of global game that commands our day-to-day without us even knowing. - Cheers!
